Here are my notes based on the webpage:

• Reddit post titled “Windows 10 microphone issue: solved for me,” posted in r/galaxybuds. The post describes an issue with using the Samsung Galaxy Buds+ microphone on Windows 10 and provides solutions.
• The issue was that the user was able to playback sound fine but was unable to use the microphone.
• The user found that Windows 10 has many different settings for managing sound, and that changing one setting at a time and retesting was the best solution.
• The user’s solution involved adjusting preferences through Control Panel, Bluetooth Services, Zoom, and other Windows 10 settings.
• The instructions for the solution are as follows:
  1. Go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers > right-click “Galaxy Buds+” > Properties > choose the Services tab > under the Bluetooth Services section, make sure all checkboxes are checked > Apply > OK.
  2. Right-click “Galaxy Buds+” > Sound settings > Playback tab > make sure “Galaxy Buds+ (989B) Hands-Free AG Audio” is the default communications device for the Headset section > right-click Headset > under Exclusive Mode, make sure “Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device” and “Give exclusive mode applications priority” are both checked > go to the Advanced tab > under Signal Enhancements, make sure “Enable audio enhancements” is checked > Apply > OK.
  3. Still in the Playback tab, make sure “Galaxy Buds+ (989B) Stereo” is the default device for the Headphones section > right-click Headphones > Enhancements tab > make sure “Disable all enhancements” is checked > go to the Advanced tab > under Exclusive Mode, make sure “Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device” and “Give exclusive mode applications priority” are both checked > Apply > OK.
  4. Stay in the Sound pop-up and select the Recording tab > make sure “Galaxy Buds+ (989B) Hands-Free AG Audio” is the default device for the Headset section > right-click Headset > Listen tab > make sure “Listen to this device” is unchecked > under Power Management, make sure “Continue running when on battery power” radio button is selected > click on Advanced > under Exclusive Mode, make sure “Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device” and “Give exclusive mode applications priority” are both checked > go to the Advanced tab > under Signal Enhancements

• A Reddit user posted three years ago experiencing trouble using their Bose Noise Cancelling 700 headphones’ microphone with Windows 10.
• The headphones were not recognized as an input device in Windows and only recognized as headphones that connect to Windows as “connected music,” not “connected voice.”
• Resetting the headphones and clearing the Bluetooth device list and connecting them again did not work.
• Another Redditor explains that Bluetooth headphones in Windows trip up between AD2P for high-quality stereo sound and the hands-free profile for the microphone and that two devices get set up in Windows for each profile. He recommends using disabling the telephony services option in the “Headset” tab of the connected device’s properties.
• Another Redditor suggests buying the Jabra Link 370 USB Adapter if you want to use the microphones and use them as a true headset with Windows. The adapter provides high-quality sound when using the microphones and allows up to 100ft of range.
• Some other Redditors’ comments express gratitude for the post and ask for clarification on some steps.
• Another Redditor provides a link to a post in the Bose community forum where a working Bluetooth dongle was found for Windows devices that works with the Bose NC700 headphones.

• The post is on Reddit with the title “How to use PC headset through Scarlett 2i2?” in the r/Focusrite subreddit
• The post was made 3 years ago and has 3 points
• The user bought a Scarlett 2i2 to use as their main input hub for their PC
• They use a headset for meetings and online games and want to use the headset with the 2i2
• The headset has a TRRS connector and the user has a splitter to fork it into separate 3.5mm jacks for mic and headphones
• The headphone portion works fine with the 2i2’s headphone out, but the user is not sure how to get the mic portion to work properly
• Option A is to use the 2i2 for the mic input, but the user tried using 3.5mm -> TS and 3.5mm -> TRS adapters to put the mic into one of the input jacks, but did not pick up any signal
• The user found that another problem could be that the headset’s mic expects 5V phantom power
• They found the Rode VXLR Plus adapter which claims to handle the phantom power case and the input jacks, and asked if this would work for their mic
• Option B is to use their PC’s mic in jack, which is functional, but the user hears static in the earbuds and in the mic’s input when the headphones are plugged into the 2i2 and the mic is plugged directly into the PC
• The user is unsure how to resolve the grounding issue and is considering connecting the headphones to the PC as well, but does not want to defeat the purpose of the 2i2
• Another user asked why the user bought the 2i2 if they already had a source of I/O for their PC
• The Rode VXLR adapter was recommended, as it would convert the 48V down to 3-5V
• Using a good audio interface like the 2i2 instead of the built-in audio I/O on motherboards can significantly enhance audio quality for both input and output
• Another user was curious if the mic quality would really significantly benefit when going through the Scarlett compared to going directly into the computer’s I/O
• The user ultimately used a ground loop isolator to resolve the issue, as it was cheaper than the VXLR+ adapter
• They posted a diagram of their full set up with the ground loop

• Windows Bluetooth headsets have an issue with switching between AD2P for stereo sound and Hands-Free Profile for the microphone.
• Adding wireless earbuds via Bluetooth sets up two devices on Windows: Headphones (for high-quality stereo sound) and Headset (for mono, low-quality sound that allows the microphone to work).
• Manually switching between these devices is cumbersome and may cause jerky transitions.
• Using the Jabra Link 370 USB Adapter automates the profile switching. This adapter is different from regular Bluetooth adapters, as it shows up as one sound card/device and provides exceptional range of ~100ft.
• The adapter also detects when the microphone is in use and switches to the Hands-Free Profile. When the microphone is not in use, it defaults to Stereo high-quality sound. The adapter supports HFP 1.6 (16KHz - Wideband speech / HD Voice).
• Using an external microphone provides better sound quality than using Bluetooth earbuds with microphones.
• To use AirPods as pure headphones without the microphone, go to Settings > Devices > Devices and Printers, find AirPods, right-click on them and select Properties. Click the Services tab, and deselect/uncheck Handsfree Telephony. This will ensure that AirPods show up as only one device with quality stereo sound.
• Future devices will get 32kHz samples audio with a flat 16kHz frequency response quality as part of the Bluetooth Handsfree Profile, thanks to Qualcomm’s introduction of aptX Voice at CES 2020.
• Reddit user recommends using Sennheiser BTD 800 USB ml, which is similar to the Jabra adapter.
• Some users claim that their AirPods work with their MacBook Pro without any issues.

• The post is from 2 years ago on r/windows and has 6 points.
• The user’s headset microphone is not detected on Windows, but it works fine on Chrome OS, iOS, and Mac operating systems.
• Tutorials recommend checking sound settings for disabled devices, but the microphone is not detected at all.
• The user tried the same with other headsets and got the same result.
• One user asks for the specific headset’s brand and type, whether it’s a USB or 3.5mm headset.
• Another user suggests turning on app permissions for the microphone in Windows 10.
• One user suggests using Realtek’s audio drivers instead of the default Microsoft ones.
• The user’s headset is a TRRS with only one 3.5mm plug, and the computer has only one 3.5mm jack with a headset icon next to it.
• The 3.5mm jack on the computer is for a TRS jack, not a TRRS jack.
• One user suggests that some desktop audio cards may not work properly with TRRS jacks and that modern laptops can accommodate TRRS jacks.
• The user tried plugging in TRS earbuds, but it does not fit right and does not produce sound.
• The speakers of the headset work just fine, only the microphone does not work.
• Most audio cards are from Realtek, and they usually do hardware recognition when plugging a jack into the audio ports.
• Some desktop audio cards may not work with TRRS jacks, while modern laptops can work with them.
• The user’s computer does not recognize the nature of the device plugged into the jack.
• The user might have to use a separate audio system with a microphone jack.
• The user might have to use a USB adapter.
• The user should try checking the device manager if the audio adapter appears and is enabled with no diagnostic messages attached.
